I don't go after pork, but I do like a beef rib if they've got it because they're pricey and I never cook them myself. That and brisket or burnt ends or sausage.

When I smoke at home it's almost always pork or chicken of some kind. Gonna get brave and throw down on a brisket or two this summer though.

Not sure if I ever shared this with you guys but early on in 2019, my wife entered some giveaway(anniversary? monthly thing?)via Twitter for Q39 and she won! We won 4 tix to a Royals game which we gave away since we live in Arizona, a catered feast that I was able to take advantage of since I was in KC for work last September(I got twenty people in KC that really loved me that week!), tons of Q39 and Boulevard swag, a bunch of Q39 sauce and some BBQ stuff(meat thermometer, tongs, etc). It was bad ass!

I always love Gates and give me a Z Man over any individual item anywhere, but I’ve got a special place in my heart for Q39 now.

:D

For sure. Brisket takes a while...

That's awesome.

ROFL
LMAO

I grew up north of the river so the Gladstone Smokehouse was our local BBQ joint. My dad is a Bryant’s guy so we’d venture down for that occasionally, but if it was just a random Tuesday and we wanted BBQ, Smokehouse is where we went. Haven’t been in years though. Just moved back to KC in 2018. Going to have to take the folks up there once things return to normalcy and try those wings.

Holy shit, missed this gem.

CoMo: providing awful takes for over a decade.

Our pickin's are slim north of the river for really good Q, but if you haven't had Jousting Pigs on the square in Liberty yet you should really give it a try. The burnt ends and ribs are both top notch. And they have a jalapeno cheesy corn that is tough to stop eating too.

Truth.

I don’t know that it’s the best in KC or whatever, but no sane person thinks Q39 is trash. It’s fine it you prefer the gas station/ Gates style restaurant; I’ve got no beef with that. But Q39 is objectively good BBQ based on the fact that they having a booming restaurant business with rabid fans.

Yeah you'd have to get your taste buds scrubbed off to think it sucks. Not my personal favorite but I'd eat there again in a heartbeat.

I grew up in Northland and still live here we have pretty good choices honestly. I can remember when Marty's bbq was the only game in town. It was ok but you always had to look over your shoulder wondering if a mob hit was about to happen in there.

I don't mind zarda but detest Q39 the atmosphere just bothers me. Oue is good but so many places in KC I would rather go.

Some friends rave about it. I need to try when we get back to normal. Scotts Kitchen and Catering up by airport on Ambassador Dr is really good.

great place to enjoy music, BBQ... Not so much It's been 5 years, maybe it got better. (and less stingy)
